Harley Benton CTG-20 WH USB Clip Tuner

There's nothing really fancy about this tuner — and it doesn't have to be. At 10 EUR it does all I need it to do:

- Tunings for Guitar, Bass, Ukulele and Chromatic. Chromatic is a must for anyone who uses alternate tunings.
- Change the concert pitch of A4 to anywhere between 430 and 450Hz. My tuner is spot-on compared to a reference pitch.
- Shows you the difference in cents instead of a gauge; useful for the 2 people who care about just intonation.
- USB rechargeable, very handy. And the battery seems to last long enough; I've had it for 2 weeks and it's still at a full 3/3 bars.
- The spring is strong enough to stay put, but the pads prevent damage to your instrument.
- Just 2 buttons, very intuitive to use. Colored display is very easy to read and interpret.

It seems to get into trouble when you go below a D1 on the bass, however. It's still accurate, but needs more time to determine the pitch. It's best suited for guitar.

Nothing to say about durability yet.

All in all pretty happy.

I wanted a tuner I could use without having to plug into my board and also for my ukulele, so I went for clip-on.
For the price there are some nice features, like modes for chromatic, guitar and ukulele standard string tunings, changing the default A440 frequency, and a bright multi-coloured display. It has small delay in its response time, so sometimes you have to mute and re-check to be sure. It also feels more sensitive than my board tuner which takes some getting used to. Battery life seems great so far, since the couple of weeks I've had it I've not had to charge it and it's still on two bars. For the price and features this is great value and the USB charging means not having to worry about finding batteries.
